Obtaining

Brewing

Natural generation

One splash potion of weakness can be found in a brewing stand inside an Igloo basement.

Filling bottles

Using a glass bottle on a cauldron that contains splash potion will turn it into a bottle of that splash potion.[Pocket Edition only] Using a glass bottle on a cauldron also removes 1⁄3 of that cauldron's contents.

Usage

Brewing

Using

Splash potions are thrown by using them. On impact they explode, applying status effects to nearby entities. The bottle is lost, unlike drinkable potions. Entities within an 8.25×8.25×4.25 cuboid centered on the thrown potion at impact and within 4 blocks euclidean distance of the thrown potion[n 1] at impact are affected.

The farther away the entity is from the center of the explosion, the lesser the imbued effect. For effects without duration such as Healing or Harming, the potency of the effect reduces linearly from 100% on a direct hit to 0% at 4 blocks' distance. For effects with duration, the effect has full potency but the duration decreases linearly on the same scale (rounded to the nearest 1⁄20 second), with no effect being applied if the duration would be 1 second or less. Throwing a potion at an entity's head will maximize the duration, compared to the feet.

Splash water bottles

Splash water bottles have no effect on entities, but will put out fire in the block hit and the four blocks horizontally surrounding it.

A splash water bottle will deal 1 () damage to an enderman or a blaze. An enderman will teleport away before being hit, but can still be caught in the effect radius if targeted indirectly.

Filling cauldrons

Using a splash potion on a cauldron will add one level of that potion to the cauldron.[Pocket Edition only] Attempting to add a splash potion to a cauldron with water, dyed water or a non-matching potion will empty the cauldron and create an explosion sound (but no actual explosion).

Issues

Trivia

If endermen are targeted directly by a splash potion, they will teleport away before the potion can take effect. However, if they are caught in the splash radius of a potion not aimed at them, they will be affected.

If killed by a splash potion of harming, the death message would be: <player> was killed by magic
